Neal Brookes (4 Jan 1976 - 16 Jul 2024)

It was a pleasure to know Neal, always smiling and happy, god bless you xx

Had lots of fun times with Neal. Butlins, wrestling, caravan, Stepping Out, Smilers. Cheeky smile and great banter. Xx

I would also like to send my heartfelt thanks to my sister Ann who has helped me so much through this terrible time. Also her husband Martin who has had to put up with an extra woman hogging the bathroom, as well as dog sitting. My niece Stacey , her husband Simon and also their two lovely children Reece and Ruby who have been a wonderful distraction for me.

So Neal has now been finally put to rest . It was a lovely send off for him , with family and old friends to send him off to that wonderful special place in the sky.
I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this day special.

Thank you to all at Farmers & Son for your help, guidance, and compassion through this very sad time. The heart wrenching journey to Neal’s final resting place was conducted with such kindness and professionalism.

I would also like to say a big thank you to the Minister, Jill Berry. She is such a lovely person and helped me to decide on things that I couldn’t get clear in my head when trying to finalise Neal’s funeral service. She read out my written tribute to Neal for me as I knew I wouldn’t be able to get through it myself. Jill, you did it wonderfully.

A sincere thank you to all.

Take care xx
❤️❤️❤️❤️

To a special friend, you were the most kind and generous person that anyone could wish too meet. Will miss your smile and the cheeky banter that we shared.
God bless you,rest in peace.
